Life: Redesigned

We are all going to die. “Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.” - Steve Jobs Knowing you're going to die, is the best way to find out your reason to live. What are you here for? How will you make a dent in the universe? What ignites your bones on fire? What are the things that you are remarkable at? How can your talents, strengths and qualities help to better serve you, the people around you and the world? ---- Connect with Ryan Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/ryanxdrake Facebook: http://facebook.com/ryanxxdrake Twitter: http://twitter.com/ryanxdrake Medium: http://medium.com/@ryanxdrake Website: http://www.ryandrake.com

I believe in second chances. Because who you are and what you do are two very different things. Imagine if you were known for the worst mistake in your life, and everyone you meet would constantly remind you of that. How would that make you feel? Like absolute shit, I bet. We've all fucked up before. For me, endless amounts of time. I'm still learning to be the best person I can be. We've all said the wrong thing, done the wrong thing, hurt people, lied, cheated, stolen. I have yet to meet someone so freakin' perfect and squeaky clean that they haven't done any of the above at some stage of their life. If you know someone, please introduce me. ---- Connect with Ryan Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/ryanxdrake Facebook: http://facebook.com/ryanxxdrake Twitter: http://twitter.com/ryanxdrake Medium: http://medium.com/@ryanxdrake Website: http://www.ryandrake.com
